I remember seeing that thread by Michael now. I seem to recall he did something similar for the low numbered Springfield too.

I doubt my stock was a Boyd's as those I have seen are usually of better quality. This one looked like the duplicator incorporated an axe and a Dremel grinder somehow. FWIW, I still have the upper handguard if anyone is interested in it for shipping charges, they are welcome to it. It is just the wood, no clips or rivets.
